Show THE FOLLOWING IS PART TWO OF AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM EVERETT HALDANE, ON AUGUST 4, 1970. THIS IS PART OF THE URANIUM INDUSTRY PROJECT. [ TAPE # 1. GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO. THE INTERVIEWER IS CLARE ENGLE.] WH: I think the reason the old maids were not so old maidish was that--I know I used to take out your cinders and your clinkers and ashes from your stove every night, bring the coal in for them. MH: Yeah. We had to have lots of help. CE: I'll bet you were an 18 year old or 19 year-old old maid anyhow, weren't you? MH: Well, about that. [Laughing]. But I was down there five years. CE: Working in the office? MH: Uh huh, but it really was very enjoyable. I just think all of the people, most of it--it's funny how everyone toured all over the country, but not many of them are back to Grand Junction that were in Uravan when we were there, many, many of them. CE: What were the general living conditions? WH: They were pretty good. MH: Well, yes they were, they really were really good, and we had--our commissary had very good food for us, we always could get fresh vegetables. The meat was good. CE: And it was adequately supplied? 44 |
